How to edit translator in the DXF-DWG translation setup

Anonymous — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 02:56:40 GMT

In Archicad 14, I could change the detailed settings for each DWG-translators. In Archicad 15 the settings of the translators are missing in the DXF-DWG translation setup window. More than that, I have no idea of choosing the translators for DWG-Import and DWG-export. Any help?

There are Settings in the selected translators in Archicad 14. However this is missing in Archicad 15.

I find out the missing settings panel in the DWF-DWG translation setup Window. By clicking the area marked by red rectangular, the collapse setting panel appears.

However I still could not change default method of the export to other choices.

So are you saying that you select another Translator in the list, then click one of the buttons below the Browse button and the translator does not get marked as the new default translator?

What happens if you do a New and Reset and try it then?

1. Even I change the some setting of one Translator, there are no command for me to apply or confirm. So I don't know how to make my change of the Translator's settings to be effect.

2. I could choose one translator. And then make it to be export or import. For the same above reason, there are no command for me to apply or confirm. So my choice could not be recorded.

Even I tried to make a change and save it to replaced the existing one. However there are no changes. Any formal course about the usage of the DXF-DWG translation setup in Archicad 15?

P.S. There seems no such problem in Archicad 14.

I see now.
You still don't have those three buttons at the bottom of the Dialog (Revert Changes, Cancel, Save Settings & Close).
Try to click around at the bottom of the Dialog so you may be able to bring them up like you did with that panel.
OR you can try reinstalling the software.

Thanks for your remind. The three buttons appears by my blindly clicking the bottom frame of the DXF-DWG translation setup. This seems to be a small bug for my installed Archicad 15.

Wow, what a workaround.
But at least you can now use it.
I will report this to Graphisoft.
